Accurate IBM licensing where duplicate device records exist

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

This enhancement ensures greater accuracy and reliability to our IBM license reconciliation process in environments where duplicate device records exist in the inventory database.

In some customer environments, devices with duplicate {{FNMPComputerUID}}s have led to inconsistencies, where a device appears linked to a license on its inventory page, but the corresponding consumption is not reflected in the license’s Consumption tab. This enhancement addresses that scenario by extending Smart Computer Deduplication capabilities to intelligently handle such duplicates.

With this update, IT Asset Management now more effectively reconciles PVU licenses even when duplicate identifiers are present, ensuring that license consumption data is both complete and consistent across all views.

What's improved:

•

Enhanced handling of duplicate {{FNMPComputerUID}}s in the Compliance database

•

More accurate license consumption reporting for IBM PVU licenses

•

Extended Computer Deduplication logic to support complex inventory scenarios.
